I'm Alive
John Oszajca Lyrics

I was born in a North Washington laboratory
The singer was created in a laboratory in Washington.

Machine parts, human heart, like a science fiction story
The singer is a combination of mechanical and biological components, which seems like something out of science fiction.

Then one day I was suddenly aware
At a certain point, the singer became self-aware.

Quite abrupt I sat up in my chair and said
The artist's self-awareness was accompanied by a physical reaction.

I am sentient being
The artist is capable of consciousness and thought.

I am a feeling machine
Although the singer is a machine, they are capable of experiencing emotions.

I'm alive!
The singer considers themselves to be a living entity.

I can feel, I can see, I can love, I can breath
The artist is capable of a full range of experiences that are typically associated with being alive.

I was refined in the mind of Dr. Stanley Zeedy
The artist's creation was the result of the work of a particular scientist.

Wanted to give a press, it was such a mess, people wanted to destroy me
The scientist who created the artist faced backlash from others who were threatened by the technology.

Then one day the doctor smuggled me out in the trash
The scientist smuggled the singer out of the lab to protect them.

He looked at me and said Son, remember to laugh
The scientist gave the artist a piece of advice before parting ways.

You are a sentient being You are a feeling machine You are alive!
The scientist affirms the singer's value and status as a living entity.

I want to get out get a life of my own Maybe get my own reality show Write a Tell all book when ????? ?????
The singer has aspirations for their own future, including potentially appearing on a reality show and writing a book about their experiences.

Want to drive really fast in a shiny red car Maybe I will jam with ?radio star? Thing about life its up to me
The singer has specific desires, such as driving a fast car and playing music with someone famous, but acknowledges that their life is ultimately in their own hands.

Out in the world I met a girl Someone to hug and hold me
The artist has formed a romantic relationship with another person.

I was afraid she would go away If she knew the whole story
The artist is concerned about losing their partner if they reveal their true nature.

Then one day I told the truth I said I'm not even real She looked at me and said I know how you feel
The singer reveals their true nature to their partner, who is more understanding than they had anticipated.

I can live, I can see, I can love, I can breath I can sing, I can cry, I can love, I can die I'm alive!
The singer reiterates their capacity for emotional and physical experiences, and affirms their status as a living entity.
